Announcing the rarely celebrated 11th order of knights radiant...Coffin Occupiers! (points to a corpse slumped in the corner)

Every little bit helps fuel the theory mill... However, this does not tell us if Odium is capable of using it...just sayin' Still...props (you know...upvote) for teasing out another valuable detail...

Why did "Mr.T" think the diagram wanted him to ignore his bed in the morning??? ...because it was unmade... crap...MISTBORN JOKES... uuuummmmmm.................... ............why did the koloss cross the road? ..."because we are human."

As in your starter stash? Perfectly allomantically viable.

I like that you're the first person to base their powers almost entirely on destructive potential...good job!

So..."Wit" may be the single most important and mysterious character in the cosmere...more or less...

...and I'm pretty sure that everyone an see nightblood...right?

So who would win in a fight...Wax...or the Wolfman?

Those who don't have a lot complain about it constantly, and those who have a lot tend to take it for granted... OR Both are much easier to give away than they are to earn... OR Both are the root cause of most violent crime... Lightweavers are like house cats...

right...but I'm pretty sure that it could just eat a pig or something to replace the mass. At worst there might be a delay in the time between organ productions. However, the problem that I see as being a possibility is simply a question of compatibility. Yeah the Kandra can produce an organ to the exact measurements needed...and yeah the flesh stays human looking after it's been separated from the kandra's body...but on some level it's still a blob of goo that been rearranged to look and function just like human flesh. But...who knows...maybe they're close enough that it would still work.

This is great! I wish I had more upvotes... excellent point about the difficulty of finding allomantically viable versions of the necessary metals.

I may be wrong (I'm just using my feeble memory) but I don't think that he made his friends into nobles and then gave some of them allomancy...I think he just divided the populace for survival purposes...and then later gave allomancy to his strongest supporters (who were nobles).

Brilliant...

Alright...it's been a little while since I've seen a "what powers would you want?" thread...and despite being cliche...they're one of my favorites. To keep it original...I'm going to add some specifics. You are on earth. Present day. All conditions about your life are exactly the same as in reality. You have not had powers until today. You are basically Rick Grimes waking up to the zombie apocalypse already in progress. Same zombie rules as the walking dead apply. You are aware that from today onward, there will be some other metalborn out there. You get to be a twinborn of your choice...and just for fun...throw in a 3rd hemalurgically induced power with zero negative repercussions. Let's also say that you get a pocket full of metal shavings and/or jewelery to get you started...but after that you are on your own (i.e. atium doesn't exist) What powers do you want...how will you use them to survive...and what is your plan of action? I'm gonna go with coinshot, seeker, subsumer. Coinshot is a must for avoiding and combating zombies...almost makes it too easy. Since there are other metalborn out there...being able to find/identify them will be vitally important, because nowadays people are just as dangerous as the undead...plus you might be able find some friends with superpowers. Being a subsumer would make not starving or dying of thirst a lot easier to manage, while still remaining very mobile. Let's have some fun with this one guys!

...and now it keeps pushing blades away when I try to trim it... by the way...welcome to the shard...have an upvote...we'll see you around!

Welcome...I had the exact same experience about 2 years ago. I'm a compulsive re-reader...especially when the next book in a series is going to come out soon. I was all like " I like this Brandon Sanderson guy...but some of these books have such obvious similarities, it's almost formulaic. I mean, I like it when the rules to a magic system are specific and limited...but did he really need to make like 3 different stories that revolve around that one idea?...wait a minute...why is there a character named Hoid in all of these books...must be some kind of easter egg. (investigates online...finds 17th shard...starts reading...head explodes...) Anyway...now that you are cosmerically aware...I would suggest doing a re-read of the material that's out while keeping an eye out for things like shardpools, worldhoppers, and references to the different realms. To me, the cosmere is basically the world's best easter egg hunt...and it's always really fun to find something new... Good luck, and have an upvote!

Welcome to the Shard! Have a complimentary upvote!

Another interesting fact about Hoid...apparently he loves bacon...but then again...I think most people do...

After reading the sample chapters of LoP on Brandon's website...I thought something similar at first. But there are a few problems with the "Adonalsium already shattered by the beginning of LoP" theory. 1. We have a WoB somewhere that states that Hoid was present at the shattering. 2. In LoP, they refer to dead gods...plural. so...I think something else is going on in LoP Yolen.

Ugly and lumpy but delicious and tender? Common core math is like feruchemal zinc...

good job. upvote. here's a long one... A Tineye and his father are looking for a bar to drink in for the night. The father goes to walk into the first bar that they come to but his son stops him saying, "With my enhanced senses...I can tell that this place is dirty and cheap, despite the dim lights. We should go somewhere else." And off they go. His father goes to walk into the 2nd bar they come to, but his son stops him saying, "With my enhanced senses, I can tell from this far away that this place smells terrible. We should go somewhere else." Dad is a little irritated...but off they go. The father goes to walk into the 3rd bar that they come to, but his son stops him saying, "With my enhanced senses, I'm not going to be able to stand this place. It's obnoxiously noisy." The father says, "Fine! But you should be happy that I'm not a Tineye!" The son says, "Why?" Dad replies, "Because if I was as picky as you...I would have never knocked up your mother!"

What is the Lord ruler's favorite classic video game? ...Pac-man...

Why did the Steel Ministry x-mas party get out of hand? ...someone spiked the punch...

So how about this... Quote Ever since finding this...I've been a little obsessed at guessing what the "last chapter" description might be. This is my top pick so far... Ten people, with Shardblades alight, standing before a wall of black and white and red.
